Summer Art Exhibit: Power Women

 

Summer Art Exhibit: Power Women

Three talented women exhibit photographs in an exciting show, Power Women, at Studio Around the Corner.

The Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition is thrilled to host the photography exhibit, Power Woman, during the months of July and August with works by Leonore Rodrigues, DeeAnn Donovan Blumberg, and Karen Schoolman. A meet-the-artists reception will be held on Friday, July 6, from 7 – 9 PM at the Studio Around The Corner, 67 Main St, Suite 101, Brewster, NY.  All three artists came to photography through different paths, and share a passion and unique lens through which they look forward to presenting their passions. Their works can be seen on Saturdays in July and August from 10 AM – 12 PM.

Leonore Rodrigues turned to photography to satisfy her need to capture visual images, feelings, memories, and ideas. She gravitated far from the high-tech and found inspiration in more rudimentary equipment and methods: pinhole photography, plastic toy cameras, and instant film manipulation. By day, Ms. Rodrigues can be found at her official job at Westchester Community College. Her work can be seen on her computer desktop, or when she gathers her courage, on Flickr or on Internet photography forums.

Although proud of her corn farm roots, DeeAnn Donovan Blumberg dreamed of escaping the Midwest and pursuing becoming a fashion model in the “big city.”  Through courage and determination, she found herself in New York City with a successful modeling career. For “Chapter 2”of her life, DeeAnn decided to step to “the other side of the camera” and test drive a career in photography, and she was hooked at the first click!!! Her photography has now become her new passion.  Nature and animals, interesting people and even an occasional draft horse event, all brilliantly come to life in DeeAnn’s lens.  See more at www.deeanndonovan.com.

As an abstract painter, student of botanical illustration and a physician, Karen Schoolman is interested in the relationship between art and science. She is intrigued by an approach to the body that relies purely on the visual aesthetic. Freed from the constraints of an expected context, it has been surprising how much of a human presence could exist within a matrix of pure abstraction.  See her work at www.karenschoolman.com.

About The Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition 

The Town of Southeast Cultural Arts Coalition is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to creating and sustaining cultural arts within the Town of Southeast and its surrounding region. TOSCAC was established as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation in August 2010 with the purpose, as detailed in the incorporation papers, “… to promote and raise funds for the development and effective management of affordable, accessible performance space that will provide citizens of the Town of Southeast opportunities to participate in and appreciate cultural arts, including lectures, theater, dance, film, music, visual arts, and inclusive community events.” 

Our current focus is the restoration of the Southeast Old Town Hall, a historic landmark within the Village of Brewster and a perfect venue to serve as a cultural hub. The Old Town Hall has been described as a “Jewel in the Center of Brewster” and its restoration will help foster the revitalization of downtown Brewster.
